Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle Garden
January 28, 2013The
Majorelle Garden is a beautiful botanical garden in Marrakech formerly owned by
designer Yves Saint Laurent. It is also the place his ashes are now scattered.
Made
in the 1920s by French painter Jacques Majorelle, this lovely garden is
composed and coloured like a painting. To understand its true beauty one must
walk along its raised pathways, past banana trees, groves of bamboo, coconut
palms and bougainvilleas.
There
is also a lovely collection of Pop Art on display painted by Yves Saint Laurent
himself. LOVE was his subject matter and how befitting, for love is the great
emotion one feels when walking through this charming oasis.
